I'm a big fan of starting the command with a #, then removing it once I'm happy with the command to defend against accidentally hitting enter

Putting ~ next to the enter key on keyboards (at least UK ones) was an evil villain level decision

Specifically, it's when it's sanctioned through the legal system (as opposed to murders and state-sanctioned but extra-judicial killings)

I mean I'm inclined to believe so, given both hamas and Israel claim it's the case

Hamas are incentivised to not kill them arbitrarily (or put them at risk of being killed in Israeli strikes) because it's their primary bargaining chip, and Israel are incentivised to avoid targeting them for political reasons

I mean it's done quite a lot to diplomatically isolate them, right? Putin couldn't go to South Africa for BRICS, he couldn't attend the G20 summit this week, and presumably lots of other trips he hasn't done that he would have otherwise intended to

In Israel's case, I expect this will be a pain for Netanyahu more than it has been for Putin, since the set of countries that are neither ICC signatories nor actively hostile to Israel is a pretty short list

It turned me into a newt!

And a series of words that sounds kinda like a complex sentence when you listen to it, but actually means nothing whatsoever

And he says to me... a very smart guy, Mark, he's really doing... he's really got to show... when he does things he really does them, you know, like he really does, very impressive, very modern

What? The fact it's owned & developed by Google is the whole point

This is how the DOJ is planning to approach dismantling Google's illegal monopoly, by breaking chrome - the world's most used browser - away from them

It's also worth adding, though, that the convention of only running for at most two terms had existed pretty much since the establishment of the republic (until FDR broke it), when Washington and Jefferson each chose not to run for third terms

It's nice that this exists these days, but my god is it horrendously unreadable at a glance

Plus mini metro, terraria, don't starve, wild rift, and TFT (last two are free to play, and only have cosmetic transactions)

Idk what you're saying about the "Lemmy version" given that you're entirely free to do so - in fact, you just did do so

And, likewise, the UN stating that serious human rights violations occurred is not the same as them all saying they aren't committing genocide

Is this excluding the bit where they made criticising their war in Ukraine punishable by up to 15 years in prison?

You mean something like the UN Human Rights Office report that concluded "China responsible for ‘serious human rights violations’ in Xinjiang province"?

I think BAC is supposed to be defined as a right-angle, so that AB²+AC²=CB²

=> AB+1²=0²

=> AB = √-1

=> AB = i

There was a somewhat understandable reason initially; when the embargo was first started, it was because Cuba allowed the UUSR to use it as a forward base for missiles so they could reach the mainland US, which, understandably, the US wasn't very happy about

But ever since the fall of the USSR it's been absurd

There's only really one big building society in the UK, which is Nationwide, but they're awesome

"Everything is politics" - Thomas Mann

Almost certainly a multiple of 2 minus one

Presumably they don't especially care, as long as they're able to take their land

But I expect a lot of the refugees will go to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye, probably a handful to Egypt but from what I've heard the Egyptian border is pretty much closed
